low water level. Chipping debris is abundant in a road cut through 

 the apex of the knoll and north along the ensuing ridge, paralleling 

 the river for 200 feet. Limited tests produced no definable artifacts, 

 but did indicate that the lithic material derives from the surface 

 of the dense loessic clay occurring just below the sod line (cf. 

 13JH201). 



AETTFACTS 



The only artifacts from Site 13JH206 were surface finds. 



1. Basal fragment, corner-notched stemmed point (13JH206-1). Plate 23, I. 



2. Large flake of chalcedony (1SJH206-2). 



3. Chipping debris {sample: 7). 



ANALYSIS 



No exact cultural tie can be indicated. The corner-notched, 

 stemmed point suggests a generalized "Woodland" affiliation. 



SITE 13JH207 



The occupation is denoted by scanty midden debris accumulated 

 on a narrow alluvial flat formed by a small, west-flowing tributary 

 of the Iowa River. Limited tests revealed no artifacts; however, a 

 small shell constituent was apparent. 



SITE 13JH208 



A scanty occurrence of chipping debris was noted at the crest of 

 a high ridge above and just east of the Iowa River. No testing was 

 done, but a small, nondeflnitive surface collection was obtained. 

 Local informants indicate that numerous artifacts have been re- 

 covered from the field below the site, but exact data was unobtainable. 



ARTIFACTS 



1. Side-notched scraper, rounded beveled bit, deep side notches, flaring stem, con- 



vex base (13jn208-l). Plate 24, /. 



Length: 32.0mm. 



Width : 23.5 mm. 



Thickness : 10.0 mm. 



Cross section : Biconvex, piano convex bit. 



Technique: Percussion, carefully controlled. 



2. Fragment, corner-notched point il3JH208-2). 



ANALYSIS 



As was the case with 13JTI206, the data are far too scanty to 

 indicate a specific relationship. 



THE FORST SITE (13JH209) 



Scanty lithic debris was noted on the north slope of a small valley 

 confluent with a southwest-flowing tributary of the Iowa River.
